TIME (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) is a student exchange program initiated by the Ecole Centrale Paris. It has taken the initiative to create a network of universities being part of this program. The establishments that are members of this network have undertaken to develop, through bilateral agreements, long-term student exchanges that produce European bicultural engineers with double degrees. In order to do this, students follow a degree course that has been accredited by the academic authorities of both establishments, for a period of 2 years (on average) at a foreign university.

This means that students generally do 3 years at their home university, followed by two years at the foreign university, followed by one last year at their home university, yielding a total of 6 years of studying instead of the usual 5 years. Luxembourgish students should be aware that this extension from 5 to 6 years could lead to problems when postulating for the "Prime d'encouragement de 2ème cycle".

I did my TIME exchange at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Take a look at the TIME sites of ULg and of EPFL.
